The Challenge

In Australia today, 3 in 5 Australian students have experienced bullying, 1 in 10 are disengaged from education and, tragically, suicide is their highest cause of death. Young adults often need someone to support them on their journey.

Raise trains, then matches mentors with teenagers who would benefit most from an independent, caring adult who is there to listen – and be there just for them.

Working one-on-one, these mentors empower and support young people to better navigate life’s challenges, believe in themselves and find a path towards a purposeful life.

Raises’ vision is to offer mentors to all public secondary schools across Australia - and help build thriving communities.
